Budget, Calendar passed at May 10 meeting
At the last PTO meeting of the school year attendees passed the 2012-2013 budget, PTO calendar and discussed adding a parent library and more enrichment opportunities. We thank the fantastic members of Westfield PTO who consistenly step up as volunteers, donors, and leaders. This year has been one of huge accomplishments- achieving 501c3 status, adding new events like Movie Night and Literacy Night, and continuing to surpass fundraising goals and invest wisely in academic and developmental success of our students. Have a wonderful summer and see you next year!

Westfield Running Club Helps Break Growl-Prowl Record!
On April 14, 32 Westfield students ran a mile in the annual district-wide Growl Prowl race. That's more than the number of kids participating in the whole Youth Mile last year and helped make this Growl Prowl the most well attended in district history. Thank you to organizers Denise and Brad Stapley, Lisa Hawk and the MANY parents who ran alongside the kids during trainings and Growl Prowl! See pictures of Westfield students at Growl Prowl on our Facebook page.
